Camporrobles 693-1     

                           A Deep Mapping Project

 “[T]he deep map attempts to record and represent the grain and patina of place through juxtapositions and interpenetrations of the historical and the contemporary, the political and the poetic, the discursive and the sensual; the conflation of oral testimony, anthology, memoir, biography, natural history and everything you might ever want to say about a place.”

Camporrobles

May 2013  |  Camporrobles, Spain

Take the frame of a topographical map.  In Camporrobles, I walk along the line produced by the frame of the map made by Spain’s Instituto Geográfico Nacional, Camporrobles 693-1, crossing fields, hills, roads, etc… all the while marking and drawing with my feet something that exists on paper.
